and tracker-extract ~22%
those are by far the largest user of resources... but dont have clue what they are doing !

the previous reply link seems to indicate that a file is corrupting the indexing.... how do I find out which one it is ?
I would be quite happy to stop the indexing - remember starting it some while ago, but cannot remember where it was actioned.... can anyone tell me how to stop the indexing please.
